Haul: RubyRubyShop Asian BB Cream

I have been really curious about Asian BB Creams and foundations for a while and I had several on my list that I was particularly wanting to check out. I looked at a bunch of different online retailers and while they carried an impressive range of products, it seemed like none of them carried all of the specific products I was looking for until I found RubyRubyShop.

RubyRubyShop is in South Korea. As far as I can tell, they have both an ebay store and a regular ecommerce site. For the record, I made my purchases through their ebay store.

I am a bit confused by the fine print on their ebay store. It is pretty obvious that the text wasn't written by someone who is particularly fluent in English. I don't buy their line for one second about no fake products being available in Korea. There is also a line about how they cannot discount shipping fees on auctions even if you buy from multiple auctions at once - but I'm pretty sure they did for me as I didn't pay any shipping at all.

I chose standard shipping on my order (no charge) and it states that standard shipping to the US takes 10 - 35 business days, however I received my order in a fantastically short 4 business days.

Here's a closer look at what I picked up:

SKIN79 Mini BB Cream Set (Diamond, Pink, Gold, Pear) - $7.99

Holika Holika Peach Girl BB Cream SPF37 PA++ #01 - $13.18 and

Holika Holika Petit BB Cream #02 MOISTURE SPF30 PA++ - $5.99

Have you guys used RubyRubyShop? If so, what do you think of them? Do you have another go-to site for your Asian skincare and cosmetics needs?

I have this black miniature set the vip gold and hot pink BB creams are great but the tubes are so small we get very few amount of product . I am waiting anxiously for your review on holika holika BB creams

The small size is definitely a plus and a minus. If they're a bad match or don't work out, then you're not wasting, but if they're awesome, it is a tiny amount. I'll try and have the reviews up quickly.

I can't wait to see what you think of these. Because you know, I think you give the best, most thorough reviews of anyone. I know there are a lot of tinted moisturizers putting BB in their name, I don't know if I've ever really tried a BB cream or not. It will be interesting to see what YOU think.-- Judi
